Magician
VERSE1
Travelling in my dusty cart for these long years
Only four legs as a friend
Even bertie knows that my magic tricks are sleight of hand
I'm spreading lies
I do my show the kids are bored they'd rather be in Arcadia
Mesmerised by noise and light i can't compete
In the modern world
BRIDGE
Pester me not old man,don't want your top hat
It's old and cracked just go away
How did it get in my cart?
Dust off the cloth feel a trembling presence
A sparkling of light drags me into the funnel
Giant rabbits are nibbling at my heels i stack the deck
CHORUS
An epic landscape opens up revealing to me a splendid world
The sorcerer takes me to knowledge and truth
VERSE2
Passing through back to normal space
I take with me all the secrets i can use
Children come with their bulging eyes
Hearts are fluttering they are gasping with delight
Grown ups wake,shake their heads in fear
What is this we see it is devil's trickery
Bound in chains i'm paraded through,streets of angry fools
I will teach them humility
Casting stones break my battered flesh
In my weakened state,i prepare my final spell
Call my friends from the other world
Seek to rescue me i am deeply in their dept
BRIDGE2
Shall we destroy all these mindless creatures
Sheeplike they sway to a god of delusion
Please let them be future is in the children
They have the power to break through religion
CODA
Shall i return to the long winding round
Bertie and me plodding on who knows where?
Spreading awareness to the children of light
Show them the way from the power within
